Iran-US tensions: Amid rising tensions in Iran, IndiGo Airlines on Sunday issued an advisory on cancellations or certain “proactive” changes in its international flights, as deemed necessary. This comes as US President Donald Trump said on Thursday (local time) that the United States is closely monitoring Iran as a “massive fleet” of naval forces moves toward the Gulf region.

What had Trump said about Iran?
According to ANI, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One after attending the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, Trump described a significant naval deployment that he said was intended to keep pressure on Iran’s leadership.
“We’re watching Iran,” the president said, adding that the flotilla’s presence was meant to act as a deterrent. “I’d rather not see anything happen, but we’re watching them very closely.”
Citing Al Jazeera, ANI reported that earlier, Iranian state television released the first official death toll from the recent anti-government protests that engulfed the country, reporting that 3,117 people were killed during the crackdown.
However, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) has said 4,519 were killed during the wave of demonstrations, including 4,251 protesters, 197 security personnel, 35 people aged under 18, and 38 bystanders who it says were neither protesters nor security personnel. HRANA also said 9,049 additional deaths were under review, according to Al Jazeera.
The protests began in late December with people protesting against the flailing currency and the cost of living, and turned into a widespread anti-government movement. The administration’s crackdown was widely condemned on a global scale, and US President Trump threatened to intervene in support of the protesters.
